Concord, New Hampshire has rolled out the red carpet this weekend for the SNOB Film Festival, and I’m thrilled to be up here representing Sourlands, which screens tonight at 6 p.m. – one of the final screenings of the festival before the band hits the music and a big party starts. Concord sure knows how to make a filmmaker feel welcome. Walking down the streets of this beautiful New England city, it’s quite a good feeling to turn a corner and see a giant “Sourlands” poster adorning the display window of a local shop. This has happened around multiple corners. Last night, I ran into documentary filmmaker Ryan Brod, whose documentary “Hardwater” screened on Friday night. (It’s about ice fishing in Maine.) Ryan and I struck up an instantaneous rapport. Business cards were traded, secrets about upcoming projects were revealed, and we talked about the hopes and fears that come with being an independent documentary filmmaker. That’s what I like about these festivals: you meet others who understand things that are hard to explain.. Right now I’m typing all this is a very cozy coffee shop on Main Street. Thumbs up for Concord.
